TV/Music/Film and Book Club

Seeing as we are all going to be staying indoors alot for the next 12 weeks minimum lets have a thread where members can recommend any good tv/music/film or book to others to check out.

Janet and John is always a good place to start...

Just finished the latest season of Ray Donovan, it's been an enjoyable watch over the years.
Ozark is good.
Mr Mercedes not for the faint hearted but worth a look.
Then of course the older stuff, The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, all superb.

There's enough there for a 12 week corona boxset.

Sex education on Netflix with Gillian Anderson of X files fame is excellent.
Word of warning, don’t watch it with the kids especially teenagers as they can get very embarrassed at some of the scenes.

Mine were

i just watched the witcher on netflix... i liked it worth a watch at least the timelines confused me a tad at times but that aside this series is head and shoulders better than the last series of game of thrones.

For a bit of comedy the cheesy American comedy series Arrested Development actually has some proper laugh out loud funny moments.
As said above Ozark is good which has the guy from Arrested Development in it.

For something more lighthearted during this shit, curb your enthusiasm is a real chuckle.

Happy days

anyone seen modern family? ive been recommended it but i know nothing about it

Started to watch it but I found it a bit hard going.

Alien Covenant is worth a watch if you are into the Alien films.

I rather enjoyed that film (as an alien film fan).

V for vendetta is a reasonable watch especially for the part John Hurt plays.

Day of the triffids is a cracking read.

Say that again Angry. That netflix documentary series is the current soup du jour in the states.

The trials and tribulations of 'Joe Exotic'.

"Murder, mayhem and madness" - an exploration of big cat breeding and its bizarre underworld.

im starting to blame carole baskin for everything now, its such a crazy show and im amazed at there are more tigers in captivity in the states than there are in the wild.

Any western with John Wayne in it is alright for me, sure I saw his syrup move in Rio Bravo the other day!

You'll be interested to know that a tiger in the Bronx Zoo tested positive for Corona virus today.

i just read the article for that, its going to get messy if animals especially domestic ones start catching it. Vaccine cant come soon enough.

I actually watched a funny BBC "sitcom" the other night. Hasn't been a good one since one foot in the grave and I'm not saying this is on the same level but Mr Winner starring Spencer Jones made me and the missus actually laugh out loud. Very silly but SJ is a very funny bloke saw him on Harry Hill a while ago, he does a lot of visual gags the other night picking the stick up in his fancy dress was hilarious.
I'm going to watch the rest on I player.

My favourite book is Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
Music - Scum by Napalm Death.
TV is probably Better Call Saul on Netflix.

Must admit I struggled to get into Better Call Saul. I loved Breaking Bad.
